by LUNASHARK
This feed is dedicated to the original 93 episodes of Murdaugh Murders Podcast with periodic updates from the True Sunlight Podcast as feed drops. Join us on the original MMP feed (https://staypes.ky/tsp) where journalists Mandy Matney and Liz Farrell continue to fight for justice in this saga and others. For nearly 100 years, one family's legal dynasty traded influence and held power in the South Carolina lowcountry until a fatal boat crash involving an allegedly intoxicated heir-apparent shed sunlight on a true crime saga like no other. Fiercely independent journalist Mandy Matney has been investigating the Murdaugh family since that fateful February night in 2019. In 2021, the double homicides of Alex Murdaugh's son Paul Murdaugh and his wife Maggie Murdaugh launched this tangled web of crime and corruption into the international spotlight. The now-infamous Murdaugh name is attached to the tragic 2019 death of Mallory Beach for which Paul Murdaugh was indicted, a litany of financial crimes perpetrated against legal clients for which Alex Murdaugh was sentenced to 40 years in prison, the 2015 unsolved homicide of Stephen Smith, the 2018 death of Gloria Satterfield and stolen insurance settlements, a staged suicide-for-hire plot, countless civil lawsuits, horrendous lawyers, and convicted co-conspirators Cory Fleming and Russell Laffitte that pleaded guilty to helping Alex steal over $10,000,000+ from clients for years. While family patriarch Alex Murdaugh was convicted of Paul & Maggie’s murders in 2023, that conviction was overturned on appeal in 2026, and he awaits a new trial date to be scheduled as of June 2026. He remains in prison on state and federal financial crimes for which he pleaded guilty. Matney's podcast, ranked #1 globally in 2021 and 2023, provides unmatched insight into the horrific deaths, botched investigations and newly-uncovered crimes that are all interconnected. Every corner of the justice system seems to be connected to this vile web of deceit, murder and corruption. Later welcoming Co-host Liz Farrell, you’ll follow along in real time from South Carolina as their exclusive sources guide listeners on a journey to expose the truth wherever it leads.

FEED DROP: True Sunlight #148 - Alex Murdaugh to Get New Trial in Murders of Wife and Son + Mandy & Liz Break Down the 5-0 Reversal
All Murdaugh breaking news coverage is first published to the True Sunlight Podcast feed and this MMP feed is updated only with major alerts or activity. It happened on a Wednesday… Investigative Journalists Mandy Matney and Liz Farrell break down the 27-page Alex Murdaugh murder conviction reversal that essentially boils down to two words: Blame Becky. They wrestle with the uncomfortable truth that money seems to help a defendant's chances at the state's highest court — while sticking to their belief that the evidence still points to one person who went down to the kennels and lied about it. In a unanimous 5-0 decision, the South Carolina Supreme Court reversed Alex Murdaugh's double-murder conviction, ruling that Colleton County Clerk Becky Hill "placed her fingers on the scales of justice." They also unpack the court's new guardrails on financial-crimes testimony at retrial, including the gutting decision to call Tony Satterfield's words unfairly prejudicial. Plus: reactions from Eric Bland, Mark Tinsley, AG Alan Wilson, and AG candidate David Pascoe. Same case. Same evidence. Same liar. Round Two starts now.

FEED DROP: True Sunlight Podcast #136 - The Alex Murdaugh Circus Is Back In Town (Again) as Dick and Jim Argue for New Murder Trial (Again!)
Will Alex Murdaugh get his murder convictions overturned? Over on the True Sunlight Feed Investigative Journalists Mandy Matney and Liz Farrell recap everything that went down Wednesday when Team Murdaugh and state prosecutor Creighton Waters argued their cases for and against a new murder trial in front of the South Carolina Supreme Court. Despite a performance that can only be described as legally underwhelming, Alex Murdaugh may be closer than ever to getting a new murder trial. To the surprise of no one, Dick Harpootlian used his time in front of the justices to do some good ole boy flirting, telling stories about himself and… Aaron Burr…? Mandy and Liz dig into the systemic rot underneath the theatrics: the two-tiered justice system that keeps men like Alex Murdaugh in the game, the media's troubling tendency to smooth the jagged edges of truth, and why a new trial would have absolutely nothing to do with innocence and everything to do with power, ego, and money.

MMP #93 - End of An Era And Brighter Days Ahead: The Best (And Worst) of MMP + What’s Next
This is the last episode of the Murdaugh Murders Podcast created by Mandy Matney, written with journalist Liz Farrell and produced by David Moses... but don’t freak out! We are simply changing the name of the podcast next week while the mission stays the same. The podcast will ONLY get better from here — with more stories to cover, more journalists to work with, and WOO, more time to do these podcasts. This podcast has been much more than work for our whole team in the past two years. So for this episode, before we start tackling other complicated cases, we want to take some time to reflect on the last two years. To remember the good, bad, ugly and straight up strange things we have revealed on MMP. To remember where we started, how far we’ve come. To remind everyone that if we can do this, you can do it too. As the Murdaugh Murders Podcast team looks toward a very bright future of shining a light on corruption, co-hosts Mandy Matney and Liz Farrell reflect on the past two years of uncovering the truth in the dark underworld of Alex Murdaugh. The battle for justice is ongoing but being pesky paid off. In this episode, Mandy and Liz go behind-the-scenes and share the best, biggest and funniest moments of the podcast and the many surprises they encountered along the way.

MMP #92 - ‘Enough is Enough': The Big Problem With The Justice System And How To Fix It
On Tuesday, about 100 people gathered at the South Carolina statehouse to talk about something really important — victims and how they are often pushed aside in our justice system. Murdaugh Murders Podcast host Mandy Matney and other victims advocates in South Carolina rallied on the Statehouse steps this week, calling for meaningful change at the legislative level. Victims of violent crime — and victims of Alex Murdaugh — have had enough of this system, which continues to ignore and harm them. In this episode, Mandy Matney and Co-Host Liz Farrell talk about victims rights, the need for judicial reform and how to solve the problem with legislator-lawyers.

MMP #91 - Casually Cruel: What Happened to Gloria Satterfield?
Only one person alive knows what really happened to Gloria Satterfield the day she was found bleeding from the head at Moselle in February 2018. And we all know who that is... Murdaugh Murders Podcast co-hosts Mandy Matney and Liz Farrell unwind the latest filing from Alex Murdaugh’s attorneys in which the convicted murderer now admits to lying about how Gloria Satterfield died. Also on the show: the boat crash case starts heating up and Dick and Jim beg the court for money. On Tuesday May 9, Sandy Smith and I will be speaking among several special guests at the Victims Matter Rally at the Statehouse in Columbia South Carolina. As we have talked about time and time again on this podcast, our justice system so often prioritizes the privileged and fails victims of violent crime. And too many of our lawmakers are working for the bad guys. As we are working on expanding our reach to focus on cases across the nation and maybe eventually the world where Crime Meets Corruption — we want to ensure that the pressure continues right here at home in South Carolina. We hope to see you at the SC Statehouse on Tuesday... and let's get into it...

MMP #90 - ‘We are here to right wrongs’: What’s Next After Murderer Illegally Released + Alex Murdaugh’s Prison Life
Our team has spent the last week diving down different rabbit holes related to the Jeroid Price case. We talked about Price a lot in the last episode, but for a quick reminder, In December 2003, Price was sentenced to 35 years in prison for the 2002 murder of Carl Smalls Jr. After a whirlwind week, the state of South Carolina is sending convicted murderer Jeroid Price back to prison, but the fight against secret back door deals continues. Murdaugh Murders Podcast co-hosts Mandy Matney and Liz Farrell talk about the fiery state Supreme Court hearing that ended with an order to rearrest Price, the Supreme Court’s apparent attempt to keep the hearing from being broadcast and what might be driving Alex Murdaugh’s desire to be put in gen-pop at his prison.
